Experienced CTO Seeking a potential cofounder with Business/Sales/Marketing background and idea

Hi all!

I come to you with a 10 years of experience as a full-stack developer and CTO, during which I've built and launched numerous startups. I've even dabbled with a few independent indie ventures, which, albeit not successful, were learning experiences.

As of now, I'm freelancing and tinkering with various projects on the side, always on the lookout for the next big idea. From my recent experiences, I've gathered an important insight: true success comes from a holistic approach.

This includes gaining distribution, conducting sales, crafting effective marketing strategies, and truly understanding what the market needs and desires. Admittedly, this is where I find a gap in my skill set.

Which led me to a thought: why not step out of my network bubble and connect with someone who possesses the skills I'm lacking? Perhaps someone with an innovative solution to a persistent problem, who's ready to collaborate on a venture?

While I have an ideal collaborator profile in mind, don't hesitate to reach out even if you don't tick all the boxes:

• Someone who have already validated idea and have some initial audience/traction to launch for (if not, not a big problem).
• Someone who's had experience in US/EU startups, particularly in growth and marketing roles, and understands how to take a startup from concept to launch (pre sales, getting initial traction, etc). Alternatively, someone working in a specific industry (like logistics, ecommerce), who can identify industry-specific pain points and propose viable solutions.
• An individual with a robust understanding of a particular market segment and possibly a few ideas on how to approach it.
• A resilient, adventurous person who's ready to hustle and experiment to find product-market fit.

Here's what I bring to the table:

• The ability to swiftly build and launch MVPs, followed by iterations and tests.
• Extensive experience with startups at various stages.
• A network of top VC firms to approach once we gain some initial traction (if we think we need that).
• Unique expertise in the Web3 field and experience with AI (including OpenAI integrations). Although idea does not have to involve these things.
• A fun, collaborative working vibes :)

I'll be honest—I'm unsure how this post will resonate with the community. But as I currently stand at a crossroads, I've decided it's time to broaden my network. Perhaps I'll find the perfect collaborator right here.
